shaper spindles. Also available is a Model D3

Optional Router Bit Spindle. It is very important

that any spindle you use, is seated securely into

the shaper so that safety is maintained. 

To install the shaper spindle or router bit

spindle, do these steps every time in the

order below:

1. UNPLUG THE SHAPER!

2. Thread one end of the drawbar into the bottom

end of the desired spindle as shown in 

Figure

18, approximately 10-15 turns until tight.

3. Insert the spindle/drawbar assembly into the

spindle cartridge from the top side of the table.

See 

Figure 19

4. Observe and make sure the spindle keyway

on the spindle lines up with the guide pin on

the spindle cartridge as shown in 

Figure 19. 

5. Lower the spindle/drawbar assembly until

the guide pin splines with the spindle keyway

and the spindle/drawbar assembly fully seats

into the tapered bore of the spindle

cartridge. When correctly installed, you will

feel the spindle/drawbar assembly seat

snugly with the spindle cartridge.

NOTICE

Make sure you remove any rust inhibiting

oil or contamination from the spindle, the

drawbar, and the spindle cartridge mating

surfaces before you install spindles.

Make certain the spindle keyway and pin are

aligned and properly seated before

tightening the drawbar nut. Improper

assembly can create an unsafe condition

and possibly injure the operator.
